Any Info. on AWA or Future Hiring, Thx in Advance.

AWA will not be hiring any time soon. We just recalled 75 pilots (104 still on furlough). Chief Pilot said that these were the only recalls expected for 2002. I don't think there is much of a future here. With the loan guarantees requiring AWA to "control labor costs" I doubt we will see any improvment in our pay and work rules (the worst of the majors) any time soon. Even Airtran has a better contract than AWA. We currently have more than 20 pilots who have gone to or are awaiting class dates at jetBlue and Airtran (with more to follow i'm sure). I myself (46 years old and over 5 years at AWA) am looking at other options. I will be happy to answer any other questions you have about AWA. Good luck.

I received a letter for AWA saying they will not be looking at resumes until at least December 2002

Do you know if a guy by the name of Pat Norris is still there? He was based out of PHX I think.
